I think Lucinda has some good qualities but overall she's not strong enough. Lee's a bit of a dark horse for me, he's been impressive at times but something about him puts me off. Helene is lucky to still be there she's no chance, should have gone weeks ago. Alex is a strong candidate and his car sales last week really got noticed by Sir Alan. Claire is a lot like Ruth Badger and I think Sir Alan missed out when she only became his runner up.

I can't wait for this weeks interview sessions, its usually one of the better episodes of the series._________________Phil

I voted for Alex to win. I predicted very early on in the series that Alex would definitely be in the last 4 and probably in the last 2. We shall have to see.

I thought that after her calm and well-organised performances as project manager, Lucinda would be in the final as well. But recently she's been falling apart and feeling sorry for herself, and I don't think that wins many points with Alan Sugar.

I think Claire and Helene have been too mouthy in the past to make it into the final two. Michael was a weasel who should have gone weeks ago.

So my money's on Alex to be in the final with Lee. Lee came across as a rough-and-ready London lad, but his Marrakech performance was pretty good, and his supercar rental result was spectacular._________________Intel Mini 2.0GHz C2D (4GB/120GB/SuperDrive/10.5.8 ), 120GB WD Passport, Logitech ergo k/b

I wouldn't be surprised if Lee won it, as I said he's my dark horse. He took a gamble with the Zonda and luckily Alex made the sales which backed it up. Sir Alan was definitely impressed with their figures. Wether that benefits Alex or Lee I'm not sure about.

Lee's handling of Lucinda in the car task wasn't good though. I also still have issues with his bullying of the young Indian girl Sara, after they all got back to the house after one of the board room sessions. She hadn't even been on his team so he didn't have a clue what she had done or not done. It was just what he'd heard from the others. Bang out of order in my book and I went off him a bit after that._________________Phil

Wow, I was surprised that Raef lasted that long! His posh accent and big words stopped impressing me in the second week; he convinced the team that they should serve Italian cuisine in the pub instead of English, despite the fact that none of them knew how to choose, cost or prepare the ingredients for an Italian menu. They could have had an easy win if they'd stuck to what they knew - instead they lost._________________Intel Mini 2.0GHz C2D (4GB/120GB/SuperDrive/10.5.8 ), 120GB WD Passport, Logitech ergo k/b

I thought he was a prat right from the beginning, but he did grow on me. Maybe it was just by then that others annoyed me more

Well, I was trying to be diplomatic - but if you put it like that then, yeah, the "suit you sir" haircut was a giveaway right from the start. Mind you, there seemed to be 3 prats - Nicholas, the young posh barrister who was fired in week 1, Raef and Michael. Kevin seemed to gravitate toward that group as well.

Is the Apprentice still popular over there? I mean like in the ratings. I could be wrong, but I don't think it does that well over here anymore.

We used to get the US Apprentice, but then it just stopped. I think that Martha Stewart was supposed to take over from Donald Trump, but that was never broadcast over here.

The UK version is currently on its 4th year and is still hugely popular. Even for those people who aren't interested in business, Alan Sugar's abrasive manner with the idiots in the line-up is still a crowd-puller._________________Intel Mini 2.0GHz C2D (4GB/120GB/SuperDrive/10.5.8 ), 120GB WD Passport, Logitech ergo k/b

Well, I thought that Alex and Lee would be in the final and Alex would win. But it was Lee who got the prize._________________Intel Mini 2.0GHz C2D (4GB/120GB/SuperDrive/10.5.8 ), 120GB WD Passport, Logitech ergo k/b
